Dealing with Flood Events at Hydroelectric Plant Areas in Western Greece MSc. Christos Roilos Geologist - Seismologist Dam Safety Sector, Hydroelectric Generation Department, Public Power Corporation Annual Precipitation in Greece (millimetres in height) The Hydroelectric development from 1950 up to date Greece is an over 80 % mountainous country with a complicated rugged relief and a variety of climates Hydroelectric Power Plants are situated in the northwestern part, where most of the mountains are located 1950-1975 8 large Hydroelectric Power Plants, totaling 1.410 MW, were built. Among them the 3 biggest ones : Agras, Ladhon, Louros, Tavropos, Kremasta, Kastraki, Edessaios, Polyphyto 1976 up to date 9 large & 5 small Hydroelectric Power Plants, totalling 1.800,2 MW, were built. Among them the two pump storage plants: Pournari I & II, Sfikia, Assomata, Stratos I, Stratos II, Pighai Aoos, Thissavros, Platanovryssi, Ghiona, Makrochori, Aghia Varvara, Ilarion HPP, Ilarion SHPP The actual situation of PPC Hydroelectric Power Plants - Acheloos r.

Collective Remembrance and Private Choice: German-Greek Conflict and Consumer Behavior in Times of Crisis*
Collective Remembrance and Private Choice: German-Greek Conflict and Consumer Behavior in Times of Crisis* Vasiliki Fouka† Hans-Joachim Voth‡ January 2021 Abstract How is collective memory formed, and when does it impact behavior? We high- light two conditions under which the memory of past events comes to matter for the present: the associative nature of memory, and institutionalized acts of com- memoration by the state. During World War II, German troops occupying Greece perpetrated numerous massacres. Memories of those events resurfaced during the 2009 Greek debt crisis, leading to a drop in German car sales in Greece, especially in areas affected by German reprisals. Differential economic performance did not drive this divergence. Multiple pieces of evidence suggest that current events reac- tivated past memories, creating a backlash against Germany. Using quasi-random variation in public recognition of victim status, we show that institutionalized col- lective memory amplifies the effects of political conflict on consumer behavior. *For helpful suggestions we thank Alexander Apostolides, Leo Bursztyn, Bruno Caprettini, Luke Condra, Elias Dinas, Ray Fisman, Nicola Gennaioli, Luigi Guiso, Yannis Ioannides, Emir Kamenica, Tim Leunig, Sara Lowes, John Marshall, Guy Michaels, Stelios Michalopoulos, Nathan Nunn, Sonal Pandya, Elias Papaioannou, Luigi Pascali, Giacomo Ponzetto, Dominic Rohner, Alain Schlapfer,¨ Guido Tabellini, and Nico Voigtlander.¨ Seminar participants at Bocconi, CREI, Ente Einaudi, Har- vard, UPF, Columbia, LSE, the Workshop on Political Conflict in Washington University in St. Louis, the 2017 Zurich Conference on Origins and Consequences of Group Identities, the EREH-London conference, and the 12th Conference on Research on Economic Theory and Econometrics in Naxos provided useful advice. -

Bd. 42 H. 2 S. 125—135 Bonn, Juni 1991 Notes on the distribution of small mammals (Insectívora, Rodentia) in Epeirus, Greece Theodora S. Sofianidou & Vladimir Voliralik Abstract. The material of 107 specimens of small mammals was collected in 19 localities of Epeirus in the years 1985 — 1989. Additional faunistic records were obtained by field observations. Together, information on the distribution of 14 species were obtained. From these Miller's water shrew {Neomys anomalus) is reported first time from this region. Some questions concerning the distribution and habitats of individual species are discussed. Key words. Mammaha, Insectívora, Rodentia, distribution, taxonomy, Epeirus, Greece. Introduction The mammal fauna of the west coast of the Balkan peninsula, south of Neretva river, belongs to the most interesting of Europe. The reason for this is above all an unusual- ly high occurrence of endemism which is typical for this area. So far, only the northernmost part of this area, i. e., Monte Negro, Jugoslavia has been investigated satisfactorily (Petrov 1979). From the rest of this area data are either almost completely absent (Albania) or they are very incomplete (Greece). Therefore, the present paper is intended to contribute to the knowledge of small mammals of Epeirus, a region which is situated in the north-west part of Greece, in the close proximity of Albania. The first data on small of this region were pubhshed by Miller (1912) who had at his disposal a small series of mammals from the island Korfu. -

It has been quite a year. A year you’d probably prefer to leave behind and move on. You put your wants on hold and stayed patiently inside, waiting for better days to come. Now that these days are just around the corner, you can start listening again to your wants and do whatever it takes to satisfy them. Always while keeping yourself and those around you safe. If you keep really quiet for a moment, you will hear your inner voice asking you one simple question. “What do you want?” Do you want to experience a little about everything or a lot about one thing? All you want is one place. A place tailor-made for you. #AllYouWantIsGreece REGION OF CRETE Crete is a jewel in the Med- iterranean Sea, the cradle of European civilization.

CHONDROPOULOS ABSTRACT: The systematic status and the geographical distribution of the 30 snake taxa occurring in Greece are presented. Compared to lizards, the Greek snakes show a rather reduced tendency to form subspecies; from the total of 21 species listed, only 5 are represented by more than one subspecies. No endemic species has been recorded, though at the subspecific level 8 endemisms are known in the Aegean area. Many new locality records are provided. KURZFASSUNG: Der systematische Status und die geographische Verbreitung der 30 in Griechenland vorkommenden Schlangentaxa wird behandelt. Verglichen mit den Eidechsen zeigen die Schlangen in Griechenland eher eine geringe Tendenz zur Ausbildung von Unterarten; von ins- gesamt 21 aufgeführten Arten sind nur 5 durch mehr als eine Unterart repräsentiert. Keine endemi- sche Art wurde bisher beschrieben, obwohl auf subspezifischem Niveau 8 Endemismen im Raum der Ägäis bekannt sind. Zahlreiche neue Fundorte werden angegeben. KEYWORDS: Ophidia, Checklist, Greece INTRODUCTION The Greek snake fauna consists of 21 species belonging to 4 families: Typh- lopidae (1 species), Boidae (1 species), Colubridae (14 species) and Viperidae (5 species). Sixteen species are either monotypic or each one is represented in Greece by only one subspecies while the remaining rest is divided into a sum of 14 subspecies. -
